Do you still think either might win?

1.) Parker/Ginobili/Green shot a combined 9/35. I don't expect Duncan to drop 30 again after playing 44 min, or even Kawhi to drop 20+. I do think at least two players out of Parker/Gino/Green have better shooting nights in Game 7.
2.) The three point shooting. The Spurs only made five 3s last night. Part of it was a concerted effort by Miami to stay on the shooters, but the Spurs still missed a couple of wide-open 3s. They've been pretty consistent up until last night, so I think if they get back to making around 10 in Game 7, they'll be in good shape.
3.) Ball movement. Spurs only had 13 assists last night. Way too low for them.
If you look at the overall game, the Spurs played a subpar game and were 30 seconds from winning a title. They can play better as a team and have shown that in this series. Also, Miami has been prone to letdowns after wins, and this might be the biggest trap game for them yet. Everyone has written off the Spurs after last night's game, and this could be a factor in how Miami comes out tomorrow.
The odds are against the Spurs, but the series is by no means over.
Manu played completely shid. Tony Parker was 6-23.. Danny Green didn't show up neither did Gary Neal.
Tim Duncan won't get 30 again so they have to figure out how to go back to the balance of Game 5.
Arabman, I had the Spurs winning in 7 but I just don't know if they can recover from last night. The trophy came out and the championship was theirs

It's tough to say who will win as players on both teams have been playing poorly (Parker, Ginobili, Wade, Lebron with his 2 turnovers that nearly costed the game). I think game 7 will come down to the wire and others players like Allen, Kawhi, Miller, Green, maybe even Neal will be the deciding factors for tomorrow's game.

It isn't really tough to deduce who will win. Miami's roster is younger than the Spur's, has at least 2 certifiable superstars, and won only 1 championship. The Spurs has an ageing roster, had a number of championships over the years, and their best players have a few years left.

Only Duncan and Ginobili can be considered 'old'. Tony Parker is 31 and like I mentioned earlier, it will be the other younger players on both teams who will be the key factors in the game.

There's also another factor; which team is good for the league to win. In this championship, it's Miami. The league will fix it for Miami.

Your thinking is the prevailing assumption of a lot of folks but I recently found out that Miamj Heat are one of the oldest. I remember ESPN talking abt and I was like "what".. But I challenge u to look at their roster and u gona be suprised sxb

The Heat are the older team due to adding guys like the former Seattle duo of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. Battier is getting up there in age, they have Juwan Howard on the roster too, Mike Miller is getting up there as is Haslem.
btw, the league would also be happy if San Antonio won. David Stern can use them as evidence of small market successes again and plus the Heat losing generates a lot of interest in the NBA over the summer time especially with the draft next week and free agency starting right after that.

Guys like Allen & Lewis are few, have limited function (playoffs), and will be gone in a few years. Duncan, Parker & Ginobili aren't gonna play for long, unlike James, Wade & Bosh. That's what I'm talking about.

Wade may not be playing much longer due to injuries. He relies on his athleticism and that will be fading soon. He hasn't worked on his game to compensate for that like Kobe did.
LeBron and Bosh have another 7-10 seasons in them. I agree.
I can't wait till tonight.
